Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Cooked crab meat
- 1 medium Avocado
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy-free Tamari sauce
Instructions
1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
2. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
4. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a wooden spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
5. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin strips and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
6. Peel and cut the cucumber into long, thin strips.
7. Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a sheet of nori on top, shiny side facing down.
8. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
9. Arrange the crab meat, avocado slices, and cucumber strips horizontally along the bottom third of the nori sheet.
10. Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the fillings. Roll tightly but gently, using the mat to shape and compress the roll as you move along. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
11. Repeat the rolling process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
12. Use a sharp, wet knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.
13. Serve the sushi rolls with soy-free Tamari sauce for dipping.
